Jackson urges Democratic rule changes before Iowa caucuses
Rev. Jesse Jackson told the Democratic National Committee executive committee that party rules exclude people and should be revised even as Iowa and New Hampshire move to hold early primaries. He criticized a 20 percent district threshold and promoted direct election primaries, while officials signaled likely no changes. The committee planned steps against Iowa and New Hampshire for early contests, with alternate delegate methods to be considered.
